I have the wallet/bat token stuff turned off. Its not even turned on when you install Brave.

The main reason I moved to Brave is Firefox's bizarre updating model on Ubuntu which causes it to randomly shutdown all the time. Plus on Android, brave just blocks a ton off ads, that firefox doesn't without extensions and fiddling about.

Is it Firefox's bizarre updating model or Ubuntu's bizarre updating model? On my Arch, Firefox updates work fine.

I have it installed via flatpak (on Pop!_OS), which turns off auto-updates, and gives me full control over when updates happen
